I assume the K3 rather than the KX3. Simply tapping the RIT button should be sufficient to turn on RIT. Initially the green LED will light (indicating zero offset), and then as you rotate the RIT/XIT knob, one or the other of the yellow LEDs will light indicating negative RIT offset or

When I need to find information quickly, I find the electronic version superior to a printed manual. In this case, typing RIT into the Adobe reader search window finds every instance of rit in the manual. Just a few clicks takes you to RIT on page 11 that reads RIT/XIT (pg. 16): Three switches
